60-66 Suburban Rear Floor Mat Material - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Subdude59** · 01-23-2018, 08:10 PM

I'm doing 66 Burb 4x4 Restoration. I know they are not available, but I would like to find a NOS rear floor mat from someone on the forum. Does anybody have a recommendation for something that comes real close? Most of the ones I've seen like the pickup bed mats are either too thick or too thin or dissimilar rib shape/spacing. Anybody?

nos find will be very hard to never gonna happen. the truck bed mats will be the best idea or find a burb with a nice one. never say say never, but have a backup plan. good luck!!!

I don't think i have ever seen even a used one for sale, but i have only been looking for 10 yrs.
I have a hair brained scheme on my long list of my suburban projects, to try and fashion a rear mat using a front mat. cut/slice/glue or make a pattern or mold of a rear mat from a front mat.
I have a high hump repo front mat, but i have a feeling a low hump mat may make a better donor.
I can remember having the rear mat in my truck years ago and it bugs me i cant replace it.

How about....

Horse Stable Mats (also called Horse mats, Stall mats, Stall flooring etc)

I know it's not vinyl but link says it can be used with an adhesive. Pattern is kind of similar. Hey, It can hold up to the weight of a horse!

OOPS; I see you meant a rear floor mat for behind the seats like this pic I got from this website.
